Longtime followers will be familiar with some of my health issues. At some point, I will share more. Unfortunately, I am back on (hopefully short term) opioids. I’m onhere less because I don’t trust what I might post. Just think of me when you’re looking at the destruction of the White House.

Well, the first in home care gal was a bust. She was nice, did good work, but she won’t be coming back. The agency carefully screens for animals in the home to make sure they don’t send someone with allergies. Their application does not, however, screen for someone who is terrified of cats. This cat

Whenever we even think about going anywhere without proper winter wear this time of year, my husband chides us with “Remember the duck hunters!”

First viewing of “Community” has me wondering why and when shows become enjoyable for me.

Nov 11-12, 1940: Unseasonably warm weather turns into a raging snowstorm without warning, trapping hunters in Minnesota and sinking 3 ships on Lake Michigan. By the time it's over, the "Armistice Day Blizzard" kills 154 people in one of the worst weather disasters in the Upper Midwest.

I was going to share about today, my 40th day of bed rest. But, because I was raised by evangelicals I am afraid of tempting fate with the number 40.

I made this graphic a year ago today but it never really took off on here (yet I've seen many eyesores where people are posting favorite movies or songs or whatever). (I thought about waking Kevin up to show it to him, but decided to let him sleep.) (Dammit.)
I made a graphic for this since I didn't see any going around. My pinned thread has similar things for movies and music, but you know me . . . I want to talk TV.

I would never leave a fallen sandwich behind enemy lines
Defense is now questioning Lairmore on cross-examination. They show a video still of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground, post-throw.
"Do you recognize that sandwich?" the attorney asks.
Lairmore won't confirm.
"I did not go back to collect it," he says.

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.
Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.
'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

I hate how math works.
I about lost it when I realized it came out in 1982, therefore listening to it today would be equivalent to listening to a song from 1939!! in 1982. In 1982 I listened to songs from "Waaay back" in the 60's.

I am now a single issue voter. Do they or don’t they support making the Commemoration of the Halloween Blizzard 1991 a state wide holiday. It is a day full of traditions, like making sure the shovels are waxed and the snowblower works. What other traditional ways you would celebrate the new holiday?
